Biowizard: Can ANYONE explain, why is the FX format 35.9 x 24 mm, rather than 36 x 24 mm? For the sake of 0.1mm, Nikon produces high-res images that a very NEARLY but NOT QUITE in 2:3 aspect ratio? Not that it will stop the world, but it's just a bit of a puzzle!

For years Nikon insisted that they wouldn't bring out a FF camera. When they realised that they had no other choice, they bought out their own format called FX that's almost, but not exactly, the same as FF. So no-one could say that they mis-informed their customers.
